Background
About Viblioteca
The Story
Viblioteca opened in 2008, founded by sommelier and cheese specialist Yolanda Villegas. The name is a portmanteau of 'vi' (Catalan for wine) and 'biblioteca' (library) -- a 'library of wine.' The concept is unique: a wine and cheese bar that operates without a traditional kitchen -- no stoves or cooking equipment. All food is prepared cold, which drives creative preparations of tartares, carpaccios, cheese platters, and charcuterie.
The Cuisine
The bar serves over 60 artisanal raw-milk cheeses from small producers across Spain, France, Italy, Switzerland, the UK, Netherlands, Denmark, and Norway, alongside 150+ wine references with a strong focus on natural and Catalan wines. Signature preparations include wild tuna tartare (18.00 EUR), truffle bikini with Iberian ham and mozzarella (9.90 EUR), duck confit cannelloni (10.90 EUR), Vietnamese spring rolls, beef sirloin carpaccio, and cheese platters (4 types 24.90 EUR, 6 types 33.90 EUR). Individual cheeses sold by weight for take-home. Around 35 EUR per person.
The Team
Founded and led by Yolanda Villegas, a sommelier and artisanal cheese specialist who personally curates the cheese selection and wine list. Staff provide personalized pairing recommendations. Barcelona rates it 4/5. Google reviewers give it 4.6/5 from 1,599 reviews.
